## **Key notes on Year Ending 31st March 2024**
## **Operating income for the year is significantly improved year on year than previous years at £34,733.87 (Receipts less interest) with a positive outlook for the next financial year.**
Reasons for this are from the hall itself:
Nursery has now onboarded and is operating 5 days a week.
Hall hire for children’s parties continues to provide a positive contribution.
Additional consistent hirers mean the hut is utilised every night of the week for either scouting activities or external hirers for the majority of the year.
No gift aid claimed (4 years can be claimed retrospectively – this was last collected in 2022)
**Spend continued to be controlled** although we were able to refresh our tent, purchase pioneering poles to support scouting activities. We ended the year with a surplus of £17,379.67 relative to operating income which is allocated towards rebuilding costs.
**Subs were held** at £50 per term - these have not been increased since 2019. Overall subs income has further improved by effective "reminding and chasing" of outstanding payments.
## **Future outlook and plan:**
Planning application to be submitted for new storage / office facility to free up space in the hut, installation of solar panels, improved insulation and upgraded heating / hot water solution.
Installation of gate to Gibraltar Rec – waiting delivery from the supplier
We will have a continued focus on collecting subscriptions and gift aid to facilitate the above plans.
